Spinning and Quilting

Some spinning from this week. I love the greens and the blues in this roving. I'm trying to spin a bit thinnner and a bit more consistently. I definitely need to practise plying. This quilt top has been sitting around a few months now. My least favourite part of making a quilt is laying it all out and getting it ready to quilt. I did make sure I put a lot of safety pins in it as I was very lazy doing the little cot quilt and it moved a lot as I sewed (did you notice there was no close up pictures after I quilted it?). I started some free form quilting of flowers and swirls and so far so good.

I just love blue and green together at the moment and I love the yarn you produced! It looks delicious. I had to laugh at all your pins in the quilt! I never put that many in - maybe that's where I'm going wrong! Happy quilting.

I've missed reading your blog - so great to catch up on it all - the quilts are gorgeous,and it was lovely to see your photo too. I can't believe how much you are getting done in the last weeks of pregnancy - so impressive!
